Wendy Johnson

Designer, writer · Washington, DC

Wendy Johnson is the beloved author of the blog Wendy Knits, one of the first knitting sites. In a never-ending stream of skill and speed, Wendy dazzles readers with her feats of knitting, start to finish. She is a prolific designer of patterns that play with traditional methods, motifs, and materials. To look at her patterns is to enter a gorgeous world where intricate Fair Isle and elegant lace are everyday fare. She is the author of four books: Socks from the Toe Up: Essential Techniques and Patterns; Toe-Up Socks for Every Body: Adventurous Lace, Cables, and Colorwork; Wendy Knits Lace: Essential Techniques and Patterns for Irresistible Everyday Lace, and Wendy Knits: My Never-Ending Adventures in Yarn. Wendy lives near Washington, DC, where her cat Loki is frankly the star of the show.
